Volleyball

Welcome to the volleyball season! We look forward to working with our enthusiastic student-athletes to develop their volleyball skills during the next few months.

The two primary goals of our program are:

To Do Right. This means teaching athletes acceptable behaviours leading to individual and team success.
To develop the athletes’ volleyball skills within a competitive team environment.

At GCMS we take the term student-athlete seriously. The word student comes first as the student's primary responsibility is to strive to do their best in academic pursuits, and give their best effort on all assignments in order to remain eligible. The Sportsmanship Agreement is in place to help students focus on this goal. Second, the student is a representative of our school and must adhere to the school’s behavioural expectations.

Staff, students, volunteers and spectators are all expected to follow the Parkland School Division Code of Conduct as well as all relevant school codes of conduct, and the Sportsmanship Agreement and Parent/Guardian Pledge.

Playing Time

Seniors

Coaches will play all players during league games and tournament play. However, playing time given during each game is earned through effort, progress, and attendance at practice. During tournament finals and championships, coaches will play their strongest lineup.

Juniors

Coaches will play all players fairly during league games. Playing time given during each game is earned through effort, progress, and attendance at practice. During tournament finals and championships, all will play but equal playing time may not occur.

Transportation

Some away games will require travel.

Parent volunteers are needed to transport students to games. Coaches or other GCMS staff cannot transport students in their private vehicles. If you are willing to transport other children, or if your child will be driven by another parent, please review the Administrative Procedure 818 - Student Transportation in Private Vehicles and complete the Volunteer Driver Checklist and Authorization Form.
